埃隆·马斯克支持让黄仁勋重返英伟达首席执行官职位的努力，尽管这家芯片制造商的董事会在黄仁勋突然辞职后正在物色潜在继任者，其中包括Arm控股首席执行官雷内·哈斯。马斯克表示，他将签署一份请愿书，要求恢复黄仁勋的职务，而据报道英伟达员工也已敦促董事会重新考虑其决定。《金融时报》周五报道，英伟达董事会在寻找新任首席执行官的过程中已与哈斯接触。
Elon Musk has backed an effort to bring back Jensen Huang as Nvidia's chief executive, even as the chipmaker's board explores potential successors, including Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas, following Huang's abrupt resignation. Musk said he would sign a petition seeking Huang's reinstatement, while Nvidia employees have also reportedly urged the board to reconsider its decision. The Financial Times reported on Friday that Nvidia's board had approached Haas as part of its search for a new chief executive.
不过，哈斯只是被考虑的几个人选之一，目前尚不确定董事会是否会向他提供这一职位，也不确定他是否会接受。黄仁勋于周四辞职，此前有消息披露他存在婚外情，其中一段涉及一名被怀疑与中国情报机构有关联的女性。他的离职使这家芯片制造商陷入动荡，并在人工智能行业引发震动。这个行业正是由他帮助建立并投入资金的。
However, he is among several names being considered, and there is no certainty that he will be offered the position or agree to take it. Huang stepped down on Thursday following revelations about extramarital affairs, including one involving a woman suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence. His departure has thrown the chipmaker into turmoil, sending shockwaves through the artificial intelligence industry that he helped build and finance.
马斯克是特斯拉和SpaceX的亿万富翁所有者，他在X上发帖称，一份要求恢复黄仁勋职务的请愿书正在征集签名，他将签上自己的名字。目前尚不清楚马斯克指的是否就是科技媒体《连线》另行报道的一项员工内部倡议。据《连线》报道，一位在英伟达工作多年的工程师曾在内部发帖，敦促同事在黄仁勋辞职后、董事会做出任何决定之前，考虑员工的情绪。
Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla and SpaceX, said in a post on X that a petition was underway to reinstate Huang and that he would put his name to it. It was not immediately clear whether Musk was referring to an internal employee initiative reported separately by technology publication Wired. According to Wired, a longtime Nvidia engineer had urged colleagues in an internal post to consider employee sentiment before the board made any decision following Huang's resignation.
《连线》杂志援引其查阅的内部通讯报道称，该帖子已吸引超过1600条评论，多名员工呼吁公司设法请回前首席执行官。英伟达在全球拥有约4.2万名员工。
The post had attracted more than 1,600 comments, with several employees calling for the company to find a way to bring back its former chief, the publication reported, citing internal correspondence it had reviewed.NVIDIA EMPLOYS AROUND 42,000 PEOPLE WORLDWIDEThe company's board said it was in the process of selecting an executive search firm to help identify the next CEO and had not formally approached any potential candidates."
公司董事会表示，正在遴选一家高管猎头公司协助确定下一任首席执行官人选，尚未正式接触任何潜在候选人。董事会在声明中说：“任何关于具体候选人的猜测，无论来自内部还是外部，都为时过早。”
Any speculation regarding individual candidates, whether internal or external, is premature," the board said in a statement.
英伟达拒绝就《连线》的报道或马斯克的帖子置评。安谋也拒绝置评。路透社无法独立核实上述报道。
Nvidia declined to comment on the Wired report or Musk's post. Arm also declined to comment. Reuters could not independently verify the reports.ARM CHIEF AMONG CONTENDERSHaas, who became Arm's CEO in 2022, spent seven formative years at Nvidia, where he rose to the position of vice president and general manager of its computing products business.
哈斯是竞争者之一。哈斯于2022年出任安谋首席执行官，此前在英伟达度过了七年的成长岁月，一路升任计算产品业务副总裁兼总经理。他于2013年离开英伟达，后执掌安谋，负责其2023年在纳斯达克上市事宜。
He left the company in 2013 and later took charge of Arm, overseeing its listing on the Nasdaq in 2023.
安谋开发处理器架构，并将其授权给自行设计芯片的公司。其技术传统上广泛应用于智能手机，如今公司正扩大在计算机市场的布局。
Arm develops processor architectures and licenses them to companies that design their own chips. While its technology has traditionally been widely used in smartphones, the company is now expanding its presence in the computer market.
分析师表示，哈斯此前在英伟达的工作经历，加上他领导另一家大型上市芯片公司的经验，可能使他成为有力的竞争者。
Haas' previous experience at Nvidia, coupled with his leadership of another major publicly traded chipmaker, could make him a strong contender, analysts said."
Futurum Equities首席市场策略师谢伊·博洛尔说：“雷内是少数无需熟悉英伟达情况的外部候选人之一。”他还说，哈斯对英伟达文化的了解以及执掌安谋的经验，构成了潜在候选人中罕见的组合。
Rene is one of few external candidates who wouldn't need to be brought up to speed on Nvidia," said Shay Boloor, chief market strategist at Futurum Equities. He added that Haas' familiarity with Nvidia's culture and experience running Arm offered a combination rarely found among potential candidates.WHO ELSE IS IN THE RUNNING?
还有谁在竞争？英伟达首席财务官科莱特·克雷斯目前担任临时首席执行官。
Nvidia's finance chief Colette Kress is currently serving as interim CEO.
分析人士认为，在内部竞争者中，资深工程师伊恩·巴克是潜在人选，因为他参与开发了CUDA，这一软件平台为英伟达的人工智能芯片提供支持。外界讨论的其他外部人选包括AMD首席执行官苏姿丰，她曾应对半导体行业至关重要的中国市场；以及美光首席执行官桑杰·梅赫罗特拉，其公司的存储芯片用于英伟达的服务器。
Among the internal contenders, analysts have identified veteran engineer Ian Buck as a potential candidate, given his role in developing CUDA, the software platform that powers Nvidia's artificial intelligence chips. Other external names being discussed include AMD chief executive Lisa Su, who has navigated the semiconductor industry's crucial China market, and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, whose company's memory chips are used in Nvidia's servers.
迈威尔首席执行官马特·墨菲和苹果硬件负责人约翰尼·斯鲁吉也被提及为可能的竞争者，后者曾负责监督这家iPhone制造商自研芯片的开发。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普还提出了前苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克作为潜在人选，在英伟达权衡选择之际，又添了一个备受关注的名字。此次领导层变动发生在黄仁勋近三十年任期之后，在此期间，他一直亲力亲为，主导公司的工程路线图，处理围绕对华芯片出口的地缘政治谈判，并指挥人工智能生态系统中的重大投资。
Marvell chief Matt Murphy and Apple hardware chief Johny Srouji, who oversaw the iPhone maker's development of in-house silicon, have also been mentioned as possible contenders. Former Apple CEO Tim Cook has been floated as a potential candidate by US President Donald Trump, adding another high-profile name to the list as Nvidia weighs its options. The leadership change comes after Huang's nearly three-decade tenure, during which he maintained a hands-on role in steering the company's engineering roadmaps, managing geopolitical negotiations over chip exports to China and directing major investments across the artificial intelligence ecosystem.
分析人士预计，他的继任者可能会带来不同的领导方式，可能转向更制度化的管理结构，而不是与黄仁勋相关联的高度集中模式。这一交接也正值英伟达面临挑战之际，该公司面临更严格的监管审查，且美国议员中要求收紧其对华芯片出口限制的支持日益增多。安谋在美国上市的股票周五下跌约5%，而英伟达股价收盘下跌约2%。英伟达本周股价下跌已使其市值蒸发约5730亿美元。- 完，路透社提供内容
Analysts expect his successor could bring a different leadership approach, potentially shifting towards a more institutional management structure rather than the highly centralised model associated with Huang. The transition also comes at a challenging time for Nvidia, which faces increased regulatory scrutiny and growing support among US lawmakers for tighter restrictions on its chip exports to China. Arm's US-listed shares fell around 5 per cent on Friday, while Nvidia shares closed about 2 per cent lower. The decline in Nvidia's stock this week has wiped out around $573 billion from its market valuation.- EndsWith inputs from Reuters
